Surprise, surprise, health and bad taste warning, this post features Cliff Richard. On 13th December 2002 UK music channel Music Choice analysed all the UK Christmas No.1 singles from the past 30 years and identified criteria for their success. These included the use of sleigh bells, children singing, church bells, harmony and references to love. They concluded that Sir Cliff Richard’s 1988 hit “Mistletoe and Wine” was the perfect Christmas hit. Sure it has sleigh bells, children singing, church bells, harmony and references to love, but it is rather shite, isn’t it?
